There have been rumblings of AGCO making the decision to phase out their line of orange tractors and implements branded and co-branded with the AGCO name.

This is true. We first reported this from the company’s third-quarter investor call. Moving forward, AGCO Corporation will focus on the Challenger and Massey Ferguson brands in North America. As an official timeline and more details are announced, we’ll keep you posted.

What’s also true is the Gleaner line of transverse combines isn’t going away. In fact, the company has prototypes of redesigned machines that ran this past harvest.

And for those who are fans of the silver machines, check out the book that is all about the brand’s heritage: Great Silver. It’d make a great Christmas present for the Gleaner fan in your life or yourself.
